Default New wide windshield

Got this thing today. At last I can SEE. Before I was always looking right at the top edge of the windshield. Now I can see the road. As a side benefit there is NO wind hitting my hands. It is a bit warm right now, but about 90% of the riding year I am on the cold side so this is a nice benefit. Feels much sportier and looks far less dorky than the uber-tall OEM windshield. About $50.00 delivered and installed in like 3 minutes.






...and one from my trip to LA for reference. This is overlooking Mono (I think) lake at the CA-NV border on US395. A nice lookout point, but no bathroom.

Looks nice. Where did you purchase it, and how tall is it? Need more info.

I got one of those windsheilds off e-bay I love it. It is wider than stock HD and lets look over it but blocks wind when you need (rain)

I have one of those on my bike "Halfmoon Wings". Love it. I have the 10" light smoke version. I've rode over 4000 miles with it. One of their advertised features is that the reduced wind lets you hear the radio better and it actually does. Also makes a noticeable difference in wind/radio for the passenger.

Would I buy one again? Yes. But I might go with an 11" next time.

I have a 10 inch in dark smoke, and I love it, I let a buddy ride my bike ,now he has one on his ultra. You can hear the radio better, and it moved the dirty air over my head.
